I think they should make a complete restructure of the Nbl and wnbl and make it similar to the a league/w league setup. Same management, uniforms, branding, merchandise, marketing etc, etc. Youth development also... Same venue.
Melbourne teams men and women (made from United, boomers and Bendigo)
Sydney team (from kings and flames)
Adelaide team (from 36ers and lightning)
Perth team (from wildcats and waves)
Brisbane team (from bullets and new wnbl side)
Townsville team (crocs and fire)
Nz/Auckland team (breakers and new wnbl side)
Future
South melbourne team (from old dragons side and rangers)
Canberra team (old cannons side and capitals)
Wellington team (two new sides)
Which makes 2 from vic, 2 from nsw, 2 from qld, 2 from nz, 1 from sa, 1 from wa.
10nbl/wnbl sides...
Makes sense by population per state also and size of domestic programs.
Potentially a Hobart and Darwin side in the future. 12 teams.
What do u reckon?
